About 
Parish Prayer
We come to you, Father,
In the Name of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ
who gives us new life.
Send Your all-holy Spirit upon our Parish
to lead us on the pilgrimage we have begun.
Trusting in Your great love for humankind,
we ask you to bless us and our families
as, with one mind and one heart,
we unite to build up our Parish.
By means of this Parish and our new church
we want to worship You.
We hope to obtain comfort and strength
amid the difficulties of life,
and to pass on to our children our faith and heritage
Help us to see that what we are building
Is not just brick and mortar,
but love, compassion, and understanding among all people
We are building Your Holy City.
Indeed, for eight years we wandered from place to place,
with no church home to call our own.
But now You have given us a home,
Your house of prayer and worship,
and we feel we have come to our Jerusalem.
We consecrate to You all our efforts
as we work to secure this place of worship,
this church that reflects our faith.
Hear our plea for vision and guidance
which we make
in the Name of Jesus Christ
Your Son, our Saviour and Lord.
We ask this
by the prayers of His most pure Mother,
the prayers of the holy Great Martyr Catherine,
those of His holy kinsman and Apostle
Jude Thaddeus,
and by the prayers of all the Saints.
Blessed are You for ages of ages. Amen.
